PORKMEXICAN PORK EXPORTERS ASSOCIATION
I would like to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation to all our clients and partners In Japan for their continuous support for over 35 years. Without you, our progress and success would not be possible. For the last ten years, MPEA has embarked in yearly promotion campaigns, which has given us the possi-bilities of showing international consumers about México’s delicious, excellent quality and safety pork meat. Thru these years we have come to know and understand better the requirements and demands of very im-portant markets such as Japan, South Korea and USA. We offer custom made products to satisfy our end users requirements and this is only possible due to the amazing skills of Mexican workers that have mastered the knowledge to produce pork items for each market.As Mexican pork meat producers we developed extended shelf life for our chilled products that distinguish us from our competitors, also we can offer a huge variety of value added products such as portion control items with very strict quality control procedures that have gain the trust of some of the most important super-market chains in Asia which are successfully promoting and selling Mexican pork meat in their stores with a positive feedback from consumers about the quality and flavor of Mexican pork meat.Mexican Pork Export Association would like to thank all our clients and consumers, for the continuous sup-port during these years and renew our commitment to supply pork products with the best quality and meet-ing the changing needs of the market.This year we had great achievements. We started exports to China, after a long time of procedures and ne-gotiations; finally partners of MPEA achieved this goal. We also have 4 new partners, which you will get to know better with the information in this brochure.

About MPEA

Jalisco Queretaro
Mexican Pork is healthy and raised in a rich natural
environment.
Mexican Pork is carefully raised in a production facility surrounded by the abundant resources of Mexico. Blessed with warm climate and abundant water resources, Sonora, Yucatan, Sinaloa and Jalisco are the major Mexican Pork producing states and are perfect locations for pig farming. High quality pork is produced through the use of good quality feed, mainly wheat, through an integrated management system.
Ideal environment for pig farming less prone to outbreak of diseases and contamination
Sonora is located in the northwestern part of Mexico and is known for its dry weather. However, it differs from the general image of a desert area.Thanks to the natural underground water table comprised of snow-melt from the Sierra Madre Mountains, the water resource essential for pig farming is secure and the production of the grain used for stock-feed is also thriving. The dry natural environment makes it less prone to the outbreak of pathogens and therefore swine epidemics are also less likely to occur. The land is surrounded by mountains and the sea, and this prevents the entry of pathogens from other regions. Furthermore, farm animals, meats, and processed meat products from foreign countries and other states are strictly moni-tored to prevent infectious animal diseases from entering the area.Yucatan is located in the southern part of Mexico and is surround-ed by the ocean, providing an environment that is less prone to the outbreak of infectious animal diseases. Sinaloa and Jalisco are also confirmed as states free of animal dis-eases such as FMD and swine cholera, etc. Moreover, transporta-tion of live animals is limited and controlled to prevent the entry of pathogens, and it is approved only between the states of Sonora,
Yucatan, and Canada and USA. Major pig farms in these 4 states are located in the countryside, iso-lated from urban areas. People and vehicles entering the farms are strictly monitored and there are communicable disease controls in place, thus providing an ideal and appropriate environment for pig farming and production.
Hybrid pig of triple crossbreed enables stable quality of Mexican Pork.
The breed of pigs produced in these states is mainly a hybrid pig of triple crossbreed bred from superior breeding stock brought from Europe and the United States.This hybrid pig is the most-advanced breed produced from many years of crossbreeding of several improved sires to produce high quality meat with high feed efficiency.The genetic lines used are mainly Large White, Duroc, Landrace, and Yorkshire and the pigs are shipped for meat production when they are 27-29 weeks old. The meat quality of the hybrid pig is ho-mogeneous, and is consistent all year round, enabling stable sup-ply of quality pork at all times.
Sanitary condition and quality are controlled by three-stage site system.
Major packers operate under a large-scale production system of integrated management (vertical integration), and the entire pro-duction process, from breeding, growing, fattening, meat process-ing to supplying the product is controlled under a consistent man-agement system.At the pig farms, genetic material is controlled in-house, and the controlled supply of semen for breeding, piglet production, raising and fattening to supplying are all managed under a unified system. At almost all farms, a three-stage site system has been adopted. This is where pig housings are separated according to the three production stages of breeding, growing, and fattening. Separating the pig housing prevents diseases from spreading and entry of the infectious pathogens. With the three-stage site system, it is com-mon that composition of the feed is also controlled according to each stage. In each farm, under the integrated management system, produc-tion and management of feed is also unified, with the feed blended either in-house or within the group. Content of the feed is unified according to the growth stages, for piglets, growing and fattening, which contributes to the consistent and stable production of pig weight, meat quality, and product quality.
Wheat, which produces flavorful meat, is used for the feed.
With its climatic and geographical advantages, the state of Sonora is a major producer of grains, mainly wheat which occupy the 40% of total production in Mexico. Thanks to the improvement of a spe-cies of wheat to be resistant to the heavily dry weather, an abundant supply of nongenetically-modified wheat is available. Sonora pro-vides an ideal production environment for the pork industry where abundant wheat is available as feed. Also in Yucatan, Sinaloa and Jalisco mainly wheat, corn, and soybean are used for feeding. When the pork is grown with wheat, the color of the fat is whiter, and the lean meat is redder. This is why Mexican Pork is known for its distinctive qualities such as rich flavor and juicy taste. These qual-ities make Mexican Pork a perfect fit with the taste preferences of the Asian consumers.
Meeting the rigorous safety standards under strict
management system
Mexican Pork products for export fulfill or exceed the requirements of various international hygiene and quality certification standards, including the Mexican Federal Government standards. Our custom-ers demand a transparent system where they can check the high quality and safety throughout produc-tion, processing, and export. We are able to supply products of certified standard to meet this demand.
Products exported to Asia are produced only in government certified plants.
Mexican Pork products exported to Asia are produced only at TIF(*1) plants which are plants certified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Ranching, Rural Development, Fisheries, and Food Supply (SAGARPA) and fulfill fa-cility and equipment standards as well as hygiene control and inspection standards. All these plants adopt the HACCP system (*2).In addition, recently more plants are adopting certification programs such as MEXICO SUPREME QUALITY (*3) (MEXICO CALIDAD SUPREMA, ap-proved by the Federal Government), SSPF(*4) (Sonora Safe Pork Farms of Sonora State), and SQF (*5), an international safety and quality man-agement system.
The Federal Government of Mexico grants TIF approval only to those plants that fulfill facility and equipment standards and hygiene and in-spection control standards. The government has certified around 400 plants producing pork, with standards of equivalent strictness to that of the U.S.All MPEA packers that supply Mexican Pork products to Asia have been granted TIF plant certifications. A Federal Government inspector (veteri-narian) is on duty full time at each TIF plant and runs rigorous checks on safety and hygiene. The TIF plants are operated under control systems
where facilities, equipment, and management also fulfill strict internation-al standards.
HACCP is a certification program for safety, hygiene and quality control of meat products, which is becoming a world standard.In this system, check points are designated at each stage of operation from receipt of the pigs to processing, storage to dispatch of products in order to prevent hazards and increase of microorganisms, which are at the same time designed to reduce risks through improvement through recording and storing.
MEXICO SUPREME QUALITY is a certification by Federal Government bodies, including SAGARPA, the Ministry of the Economy and the Mex-ican Foreign Trade Bank (BANCOMEXT) that, from the production stage onward, the export goods from Mexico meet the overall requirements of safety and quality. This certification is evidence that the product meets Mexican Federal government standards: Hygiene (safety), guaranteeing trust for safe products made in a safe controlled system starting with the overall production process and continuing through distribution, process-ing and packaging; Harmlessness, that the product is not harmful to the health of people; and Quality, guaranteeing excellence of quality includ-ing color, taste, appearance, and condition.In order to obtain the MEXICO SUPREME QUALITY approval, rigorous control system standards need to be met. For pork, these standards be-gin at the production farm, and apply to transportation, abattoirs (from dressed carcass to various cuts, value-added and special cuts), to pack-aging, packing and product storage. In addition, products need to pass the inspection conducted by an independent certification body approved by the government. MEXICO SUPREME QUALITY is given to farms, abattoirs and plants.
Apart from the rigorous certification systems of safety and quality, there is an increasingly large number of producers obtaining certification pro-vided independently by state governments. SSPF was introduced by the Sonora State government in April 2000 and is a program which sets comprehensive regulations at the farm stage. Standard of certification consists of 17 items regulating controls in detail including hygiene control of pig farms, health control of pigs, hygiene and safety instructions for transport of pigs to the abattoir and hygienic control of slaughtering and
dressing. Technical competency, levels of pig farm operation and bio-security of pig farms, as well as use of medication for hogs are also covered. Particu-larly, in relation to the standard of medication use for hogs, three levels of certificates are issued according to the duration of the use of antibiotics, leveraging the geographical advantage of Sonora State as being less prone to outbreaks of pathogens.
Similarly to MEXICO SUPREME QUALITY, SSPF is given to farms, abat-toirs and plants.
HACCP is a requisite to obtain the SQF Certification. This certification
not only meets general requirements of safety and security, but also the social demands of environmental conservation, such as further improve-ment of quality and reduction of environmental burdens. Therefore, some MPEA member packers have adopted this certification.
Total integration and traceability
In their efforts to produce safe and secure products in all stages of the production cycle, many pig farms and MPEA packers producing Mex-ican Pork are adopting the total vertical integration system which con-trols the entire cycle from breeding, raising, fattening, slaughtering and dressing, treatment and processing, processing of value-added products
such as portion products, up to export. Also, rigorous efforts are being made in terms of traceabil-ity which enables tracing of his-torical record of each product. The tracing system, established by farm, is able to provide data including production and pro-cessing dates, and information on the feeding of the animal.
Advantages Of Mexican PorkThe shipping route for export to Asia
How much time is required to ship Mexican Pork from Mexico to Asia? You might think that it would require longer time compared to shipping from North America or Canada. However, in fact, shipping can be done in roughly the same amount of time or even less compared to shipping from the mid-western region of the United States.From the state of Sonora, shipping can be made via Long Beach on the West Coast of the United States to the ports in Asia in about 18 to 20 days. It requires about three weeks from the plants to customs clearance, and the freshness of Mexican Pork can be maintained at the same level parallel or even better that of the North American products. For frozen products, most of the shipping is made from Mexican ports due to low cost, via Ensenada or Manzanillo, in 20 to 23 days, and similarly requiring about one month from the plants to customs clearance. From Yucatan and Sinaloa, as the consignment is mostly frozen products, land trans-port is used to the ports of Manzanillo, or partly to Lazaro Cardenas and Mazatlan, then shipped via the respective ports. 20 to 23 days are re-quired on average for shipping, and from the plant to customs clearance, about one month is required.From Jalisco, land transport is used to the port of Manzanillo, Colima as well, and takes around 20 to 23 days to get to destiny. This inventory system will provide plenty of time for making purchase based on demand. Exports of Mexican Pork
Exports of Mexican pork have increased during recent years. In 2013, Mexican pork exports were around 87,000 tons, 17% more than 2012. Also, the exports have been diversified to different countries such as Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore, in addition to Japan, South Korea and USA.This is a proof that the appeal of Mexican Pork is gradually taking hold in the markets.
Mexican Pork is evaluated highly for its “light fat, and tender and easy-to-bite meat.” In order to see how Mexican Pork was evaluated by consumers, a sam-pling survey was conducted under the request of MPEA by an indepen-
dent consumer research agency targeting 104 female consumers (ran-domly selected). According to the results of the survey, the overall comment for both belly and loin leaned towards “light fat.” This was due to the fact that the ma-jority of the feed of the pork is wheat, which affects the quality of the fat, although the comments would have varied depending on the amount of fat tasted for the sampling.In addition, there were positive evaluations such as, “tender and easy to bite,” “tasty lean meat with good aftertaste,” and “good flavor and firm meat texture.” The overall score for the meat color, the balance between fat and lean meat, and tenderness of meat showed that the meat quality, mouthfeel and taste were suited to the taste of the Asian people, high-lighting the healthiness and favorable image of Mexican Pork.
Various items and grades can be offered to meet the specification and quality demands of Asian markets.
One of the appeals of Mexican Pork is that production flexibility allows the producers to meet the needs of Asian Markets. To minimize process-ing, fat and tendons are removed from the meat as much as possible, and small cuts are supplied. In addition, highly skilled workers allow detailed customization to meet market demands such as thin-slicing, shaping, and skewering.

NORSON is a company founded in 1972. The company was signed under the original name of Alpro by a small group of pig producers in Hermosillo, Sonora. The initial objectives of the company were to join forces with independent producers to jointly market their production, principally to the City of Mexico. In 1989 Alpro Group began a strategic alliance with Smithfield Foods Inc., a US company, world leader in the production and marketing of pork. From this new partnership rose NORSON. In 1991 it began exporting to Japan. In 2008 Norson received the National Export Award. It was recognized as the No. 1 exporter of pork in Mexico for the past 3 years. Norson is a company dedicated to the production and marketing of Pork Meat as well as its derived meat products.Norson has a Vertical integration (From pig breeding, feeding, slaughtering, cutting and production) and have strict control along the supply chain (pork and foods) to ensure the quality of the final product.Norson´s pigs have been born and bred a few hours away from our facility, which gives us a greater degree of control.We have a wide distribution infrastructure that covers all channels; Food Service, Supermarkets, Wholesalers, retailers and packers.We currently export to international markets such as Japan, South Korea, United States of America, Hong Kong and China.
